when interrupts requests arrive from two or more devices simultaneously , the process has to decide which request should be serviced first and which one should delayed. the processor takes the decision with the help of interrupt priorities.

An interrupt is a signal that a peripheral board sends to the central processor in order to request attention.In respond to an interrupt the processor stops what it is currently doing and executes the service routine.

Basically 8085 microprocessor is classified in two interrupts (Hardware interrupt & software interrupt)

In the 8085, the highest priority interrupt is TRAP. In the 8086/8088, the highest priority interrupt is NMI.

From highest to lowest; TRAP, RST7.5, RST6.5, RST5.5, and INTR.

If more than on IRQ is up at the same time how does the interrupt controller select with to process first?

The priority of interrupts on the 8085 is, in order of decreasing priority, TRAP, RST7.5, RST6.5, RST5.5, and INTR. The priority of interrupts on the 8259 is dependent on the priority mode set by the programmer, it can either be 1.) fully nested mode, where IRQ0 has highest priority, 2.) auto rotation mode, where each has equal priority in a rotating scheme, and 3.) fixed rotation mode, where one is selected as highest by the programmer.


How the interrupt can be masked or unmasked in 8086?

The 8086 interrupt priorities are concerned ,software interrupt have the highest priority,followed by NMI ,followed by INTR.The lowest priority signals are unmaskable interrupts.


Which register is used to set priority for interrupts?

The 8085 does not have an adjustable priority interrupt schema. You can only turn interrupts off, and mask certain interrupts, such as RST5.5, RST6.5, and RST7.5. However, that said, you can implement a priority schema, of sorts, within these interrupts, including INTR, by using the SIM instruction. You can't change the basic priority but you can disable certain interrupts while others are being serviced, if you so choose.


Why do you need 8085 maskable interrupts if they can be disabled?

if u want to execute high priority interrupt,at that time of low priority running.So, we can mask the low priority interrupt and execute the high priority interrupt.


Should any device be allowed to interrupt CPU while another interrupts are being serviced?

It is possible to allow nested interrupts. This is often done when there is a heirarchy of interrupts, some with higher priority than others. In order for this to work, the second interrupt must not be allowed to influence the progress of the first interrupt. We call this being "thread safe". In a nested scheme, an interrupt mask is set so that higher priority interrupts can be permitted, while blocking interrupts of the same or lower priority, and then interrupts are reenabled during the interrupt service routine. At the conclusion of the first routine, interrupts are disabled again, the mask is restored, and the normal interrupt return sequence is executed. In the 8085, this can be supported using the Read Interrupt Mask (RIM) and Set Interrupt Mask (SIM) instructions. While not strictly required, the logical priority is often INTR, RST5.5, RST6.6, RST7.5, and then TRAP, in order of increasing priority.

What is advantage of trap pin ion 8085?

TRAP is a non maskable interrupt pin in 8085.....it has the highest priority out of all the interrupts...it is used in emergency n critical states..ex.during power loss etc.


What is maskable in Intel 8085 microprocessore?

Four of the interrupts in the Intel 8085 (INTR, RST5.5, RST6.5, and RST7.5) are maskable, while one interrupt (TRAP) is non-maskable.The eight RSTx type of software "interrupts" are not really interrupts, but if they were treated as interrupts, they would be non-maskable.


Which is the highest priority interrupt for 8051?

The highest priority interrupt in the 8085 is the TRAP interrupt.


Which type of lien has highest priority?

Liens for property taxes have highest priority in a foreclosure regardless of when the lien was filed.


Why Disable all interrupts was allowed in kernel mode?

It usually doesn't. You may think of one of the followings: 1. When processing a higher priority interrupt, more interrupts with lower priority are not allowed. 2. During the context-switch (user-mode<->kernel-mode, entering/exiting interrupt/exception handler), interrupts may be disabled. 3. When in a critical operation (eg. manipulating shared data), interrupts may have to be disabled (for a very short time-interval).


Different between maskable and non-maskable interrupt?

Maskable interrupts trigger events are not always important and so the programmer can decide that the event should not cause a program to jump. Nonmaskable interrupts can not be ignored by the programmer and therefore they have absolute priority.
